I just told a writer I met for lunch the other day that there were only four contests to be in- Nicholl, page, Austin and Fresh Voices. he didn't know about Fresh Voices so I told him the rundown of my experience and how impressed I was with the coverage I got the two years I've entered. With so many contests now crowding each other out, I have to say the professionalism in this one/ updates/ making deadlines/ providing feedback are amazing given the entry fee. Thanks again and it's always my goal to never have to enter a contest again :), but as I tell people, this one is well worth it.

Fresh Voices Makes A Difference

Our belief is that film and television have the power to not only entertain, but to inform, educate and elicit a deeper appreciation of the world around us. To celebrate the transformative affect of such stories and their writer's, the Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition offers four unique awards to highlight those who make a positve difference through their writing.

Additionally, Fresh Voices promotes a sustainable environment by being a completely paperless competition. And because of our desire to make the world a better place, Fresh Voices donates a portion of competition proceeds directly to charity each year. Since 2009, Fresh Voices has supported all of these worthy causes.

“One must never place a loaded gun on the stage if it isn't going to go off. It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep.”
Such are the fateful words of Anton Chekhov, a Russian playwright who outlined one of the most important dramatic principles in narrative storytelling. Even though Chekhov wrote this edict...
